Dear Gerry,

    what a sad story! This can happen to idealistic skilled workers who
    transfer into a foreign and unknown environment. Often they are
    unable to find their niche in the new environment because they get
    sidetracked into believing the only way to survive is to compete
    with all the other rats in the rat race. Some are taken advantage of
    by  unscrupulous traders; they are lied to when they seek to
    establish a price structure for their work. Their beautiful work is
    often denigrated on the grounds that "no one will pay for that
    attention to detail" to make them work cheaper. Unfortunately there
    are people out there who prey on the idealism of others - especially
    when they are tradespeople or craftspeople in the strange land of
    profit above all else. Been there, suffered that! 

Kind regards,
Rex Steele Merten
